@BBCNews Evri has lost my son’s birthday present (Boxing Day). First they said it was too heavy to deliver… now it’s been lost. This is unacceptable. We can’t afford another so … that’s it.
I have made 14 more science root word cards, which brings the total to 40.
You can access the second batch here:

Might make more soon. It has been wonderful seeing these being used by teachers, please do continue to share and let me know what you think!
Some information may not stick with your students the first time you teach it—and that’s okay! 🧠 Paper tutors can help students better understand complex concepts while offering them the support they need to feel confident with the content 💪

@CarrieScience Consider how we learn language as babies & children: first we listen, then we make the sounds (speech!), and THEN we read & write. Science is a language too 👍🏼 Design opportunities for students to talk with you and one another about the content using the vocab. Good luck!
@CarrieScience In elite science teaching you want the vocab to come as a retrieval cue for a variety of representations for a conceptual model. Frontloading vocab leads to abstract association between a term and a phrase that doesn't have sufficient meaning for a student.
@CarrieScience Hi Carrie, SquidBooks builds scientific vocabulary! Our clickable science words give students immediate access to synonyms while reading at a "just right" level, and our vocabulary games and quizzes reinforce science terms.

Okay. Can I have some advice? Can you wonderful science teachers recommend a good package for support in teaching KS3 science? I am currently looking at Collins Teacher Pack. I ideally would like powerpoints and assessments included? Any ideas are welcome.
Retrieval, interleaving, spaced learning - all terms we use regularly as teachers, but how are you all embedding this consistently across a department or even the whole school? How are you revisiting prior learning? How are you making it stick? Ideas and retweets please 🙏
One of the things I love the most about @WALKTHRUs_5 is how is allows teachers/schools to adapt and adopt the materials to create their own in-house resources. We see lots of lovely innovative work being done. 🙏🙏🤩
